Muskegon River
Temps – 36 Water Conditions – above average & stained
>>> Water levels have risen dramatically due to snow melt and rain. Consequently, steelhead have begun to enter the Muskegon River in large numbers. Bottom bounce with stones, wiggle hex’s and black leaches for the best results. The afternoon bite has been best. Phil Cusey
